There have been reports in the Polish media that Adamek may not fight Pulev. Dan Rafael said last Friday that Kathy Duva told him there have been no negotiations between the Adamek and Pulev camps yet.

I love the idea of this fight but its bullsh1t from a ABC standpoint. Last IBF eliminator when Chambers pulled out Thompson was just granted mandatory status without a replacement. Now Pulev beats Walker, Rossy, Dimitrenko, Ustinov and has to have another fight to become mandatory?

If Adamek never wanted a title shot why the hell did he enter the IBF tournament.

He should have to fight a replacement in their home country?

Your points are valid. The IBF is based in the USA.

Thompson didn't have to fight anybody else when Chambers pulled out.

My last comment was partly because I'd like to see the fight on NBC so I can watch it with English commentary, and partly because having US boxing fans see the fight would be good for Pulev's career.
